Mythic Mini: Clever Combat Feats II All right, you know the deal by now, right? 3 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page SRD/editorial (also contains 2 feats) , 1 page content, so let’s go! -Lightning Draw: +2 to atk and damage with the first attack of a Lightning Draw weapon before the end of the turn. Only one weapon gets the benefit, if more are drawn. If you expend one mythic power, it costs no panache and the target is flat-footed versus the attack that receives the bonus. Nice. -Measure Foe: Increase bonuses granted by base feat by +1, learn about twice as many combat feats. If you expend mythic power and use Sense Motive after only […]

Mythic Mini: Clever Combat Feats All right, you know the deal by now, right? 3 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page SRD/editorial, 1 page content, so let’s go! -But a Scratch: You can use the feat with ranged crits and the DC is reduced the farther the attacker is away. Shaken duration increases by +1 round per 2 mythic tier. I assume a minimum of 1, but am not sure here. However, being critically hit thereafter or subject to an ability that deals more than 1/5th of your maximum HP end the effect. 1/5th max HP is a petty inelegant benchmark cap here. -Cat and Mouse: When not attempting a riposte with the regular feat, the dodge […]

Ultimate Charisma Ultimate Charisma clocks in at 68 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page inside of front cover, 1 page editorial, 3 pages of SRD, 1 page back cover, leaving us with 61 pages of content, so let’s take a look! Ähem. GET THIS NOW!!!! No, seriously, get this NOW! ASAP! This book belongs into the library of every Pathfinder group. No exceptions. None. … Okay, you really want to read a gushing diatribe on how this book represents all that is awesome about 3pps? All right! A little history first: Alexander Augunas started Everyman Gaming to release a single, humble little pdf called “Psychological Combat.” The first iteration of this little book was good…and then, he made […]

Psychological Combat (Revised Edition) This pdf clocks in at 15 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial, 1 page SRD, leaving us with 12 pages of content, so let’s take a look! Now this pdf kicks off with the crucial question – what is this pdf and why use it. First of all – feint and demoralize are the odd rules components out when compared to Pathfinder’s otherwise streamlined combat maneuver mechanics – this pdf streamlines this to introduce a psychology DC. The DC would be 10+ HD+wis-mod or 10+sense motive bonus, whichever is higher – simple, easy to calculate on the fly – so kudos there. But also, at least so far, not that new. Where […]

Razor Coast: Fire As She Bears This system for naval combat is 98 pages long, 1 page front cover, 4 pages of advertisement, 3 pages of SRD, 1 page ToC and 1 page back cover, leaving us with 88 pages of content. So here we are – by now the third naval combat system for Pathfinder – after Paizo’s system fell flat of my expectations and after EN Publishing’s book thoroughly disappointed me, let’s see whether this supplement can do the trick! We kick off this sourcebook, as is only prudent, with an explanation of the terminology used as well as a handy diagram that explains how a ship is positioned in relation to the wind. In order […]
